Revis to the Pats!

Apparently it's between them and Denver. I would choose Denver any day over new England

I'd be fine with him on the Pats. That's cap space they can't put anywhere else for the next year or two and a young player or two they have to give up to get him.

I have a hard time seeing the Pats actually making the move, due mainly to Belichik's aversion to cap-sucking CB's, but if Belichik is pondering retirment in a season or two then screwing the Pats talent base and cap for 2016 and beyond probably doesn't matter to him.

 

I would be shocked to see this. Especially because we know revis isn't fond of bill

 

Bill is very fond of Revis though, that opinion matters a whole lot more. I'm pretty sure Revis' deal doesn't have a "i can deny a trade" clause in it.

 

It does have a "pay me an unreasonable amount of money" clause in it though. I'd be surprised if the Pats paid him like that.

 

They would have to pay him $16,000,000 in addition to giving up a high draft pick unless of course people think the Bucs are just going to let him go for a 3rd or 4th rd pick. Just don't see it happening.

 

$0 gtd = restructureable. Revis might actually accept a paycut to get to play man to man. His previous and current HC in Tampa are both zone guys. His talent is wasted there and as much as he likes money he wants to show how great his is.

I believe NE trading for him has about a 0.0% chance of happening, but there are many reasons to find it plausible, and one thing to consider, the draft pick used as the trade chip could come from future drafts, it doesn't have to come from this year, where the draft is considered deep (however that is also a counter argument for Tampa, wanting more picks this year, etc.).

 

He'll wind up on the Pats somehow, luckily his most dominant years are probably behind him. Talib and Revis would be sick.....

 

Revis isn't taking any pay cuts. Period. End of story.

 

Not gonna happen man. Revis and pay cut do not belong in the same sentence. If that were true, he wouldn't have gouged us for so much money and stayed in New York playing man to man under Rex. That's bullshit. He wants his money and only his money.

 

I was waiting for the argument that Revis would take less money to be on a winning team.

 

Just cause he has no guaranteed money doesn't mean his contract will be easy to restructure.

If Revis gets traded to a new team, he will hold all the cards cause he carries an immediate 16 million cap hit. If the restructure isn't too his liking then he doesn't have to sign it, which means his new team have to keep him for 16 million a year or cut him after just trading high draft picks for him. Even if he agrees to a restructure, he's still going to want an average of 16 million a year in his new contract, his ego means he has to be one of the highest defensive players in the game. The only way you can likely reduce his 2014 cap hit is to sign him on a very long deal with a very big signing bonus (and even then he'd still be likely to have a high cap number), which is risky business considering his past knee injury. Does that sound like typical Belichick move? You throw in Revis' dislike of BB and the lack of cap space ( only 10 million at the moment) which means this is unlikely.

In fact I'd say there is more chance of Revis returning to the Jets or the Jets signing Talib than Revis going to the pats.

 

Don't know where you got that from? he and Bill are a regular mutual admiration society.

As far as restructuring, If the Pats give him $20 mil guaranteed they can pay him $15mil per and lower the cap number the first couple years.

As far as the guy who posted above me... No way do the pats, or Broncos for that matter trade for Revis without the contract stuff settled beforehand.

Talib is a bigger gamble and he's gonna cost $10+

I don't see this trade happening, but it is probably more likely than the Broncos, who already will probably have to let go of a top receiver to keep themselves under the cap.

 

Revis take a pay cut? Now I know I heard it all.

 

I'm pretty sure Revis could go for a 3rd. Remember that the Bucs get their 3rd round pick back and give us their 4th if they trade Revis before the deadline. That's like the 69 plus whatever pick they get for the 101 and Revis. They get rid of the huge cap hit and the $16M payment due Revis this year and are starting over with a new HC and GM. That's a normal posture.

Owners don't like paying huge sums to their players. If the Glazers don't think that Revis is actually worth anything like $16M they'll be more than willing to sign off on a cheap trade.

 

Now this one I am on board with. I don't think Revis is going to take a cut unless he has no choice and no choice means he's cut and on the market.

 

A team that is known to not give out huge contracts signs a cornerback of all positions a ton of money? Yea right.

 

The only thing that makes me think it is a possibility is that Belichik has to be getting frustrated about the inability to get over the top again. He knows Brady doesn't have many (any?) peak seasons left and he also knows that he wants to do things after football and before he gets too old. He wants that 4th ring and I wouldn't be surprised to see him break discipline one of these years and do something crazy.

 

It wouldn't suprise me honestly. They were going to give up everything for Fitzgerald. I think they are realizing that what they have been doing is not working, and Brady's years are certainly numbered now. Stockpiling picks doesnt make sense, especially if Belichick knows he is leaving soon.
